OUT LIKE A LION- A CANADIAN MARCH

What an unusual month- cold then one of the warmest on record then back to cold and chance of snow flurries today. It seems different but I recall other years with snow storms in the middle of April. My Sonya was born April 4th and on her arrival to the world a horrendous Ice storm and cold weather prevailed for the next week here in the GTA. Spring is never warm or good enough! Funny we always want to go from Parkas to shorts but it really does not work that way, does it! As with most northern countries, we always have a sweater handy. Dress in layers- layer up and layer down. Does weather help determine the nature of its people- I think so! We Canadians must be flexible, accept change-as it can occur daily, and find creative ways to stay warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Hardy- don't forget hardy! Just the vastness of this great nation, means that a sunny day can occur on one coast and a tornado on another one! Are you having a sunny day? Is there snow in your forecast? Whatever you are facing? The good news is a new month is about to start. That will change everything!

  1. Your fine photos show the differences nicely. Yes, we Canadians are hardy and adaptable. Like our garden plants, we have to be! Fortunately, the forecast here for the next week is great. Hope your winter storms are over. too.
